Short answer

Our top pick: Borosil 1 L Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle

The Borosil 1 L is the best overall of the six: a full litre with a double wall, a stated steel grade, leak-proofing and up to 24 hours of hot or cold. Borosil sells vacuum insulated steel bottles in several sizes, and one copper bottle. This list covers six. Borosil gives its Trek family a longer hot figure than its Gosport bottles. The Trek bottles are the 700 ml and the 850 ml. The Gosport bottles are the 900 ml and the 580 ml. Borosil says the 1 L bottle lasts up to 24 hours, hot or cold, which is a ceiling rather than separate hot and cold figures.

The choice is mostly between the Trek style and the Gosport style, then size. The copper bottle is a different product with no insulation. The 700 ml, 850 ml, 1 L and 580 ml bottles carry a one year warranty that excludes spare parts.

View on Amazon for Borosil 1 L Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle (opens in a new tab)
  • Capacity1000 ml
  • Keeps hot/cold24 h
  • MaterialStainless steel
  • Warranty1 year

The Borosil 1 L Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle is the largest steel bottle at 1000 ml. The steel is 304-grade and rust-proof. It has a double-wall vacuum with a copper coating, and a powder-coated exterior.

Borosil says it keeps drinks hot or cold for up to 24 hours. A thread-type screw lid closes it. Borosil credits that lid with the leak-proof seal. The maker also says the bottle is made in India. Borosil gives a one year warranty and leaves out spare parts.

Pros

  • A full litre with an up to 24 hour claim.

Cons

  • BPA status is not stated.

Suits: A buyer who wants one large bottle for a whole day.

Falls short: The phrase up to 24 hours gives a ceiling, not a guaranteed figure.

Pick #2Best Trek hours

Borosil 700 ml Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Brand: Borosil
View on Amazon for Borosil 700 ml Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle (opens in a new tab)
  • Keeps hot/coldHot 20 h, cold 24 h
  • Warranty1 year

The Borosil 700 ml Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle takes its size from the name, since the specs give no capacity. Borosil says it keeps drinks hot for 20 hours. The cold figure is 24 hours. That is the highest specific hot figure among the Borosil bottles here. The 1 L lists only an up to 24 hour ceiling for hot or cold.

The lid is a screw-top with a wide mouth. Borosil says the wider mouth makes the bottle easy to drink from and to clean. Borosil also sells spare lids separately.

Insulation (hot/cold hours)Hot for 20 hours, cold for 24 hours
Lid typeScrew-top lid, wide mouth
Warranty1 year (spare parts not covered)

Pros

  • Hours of 20 hot and 24 cold from Borosil, with a wide mouth to clean.

Cons

  • The specs leave out material, leak-proofing and BPA status.

Suits: A buyer who wants a mid-size bottle with long hours from the maker.

Falls short: Spare parts are not under warranty, so a lost lid is a separate purchase.

  • Keeps hot/coldHot 20 h, cold 24 h
  • Warranty1 year

The Borosil 850 ml Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle is the larger sibling in the same line. The hours are the same, hot for 20 hours and cold for 24 hours. The lid is the same screw-top with a wide mouth.

The warranty is one year and does not cover spare parts. As with the smaller one, the specs leave out capacity, material, leak-proofing and BPA status.

  • Capacity900 ml
  • Keeps hot/coldHot 14 h, cold 18 h
  • MaterialStainless steel
  • Warranty1 year

The Borosil 900 ml Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle is the best documented of the six. The steel is 18/8 quality, with grade SS304 inside and SS201 outside. Borosil says the vacuum wall has a copper coating and the exterior is free of condensation.

Hours are 14 hot and 18 cold. The sipper lid is a screwtop with a carry loop. The bottle is leak proof, and Borosil says it is BPA and phthalate free. The mouth is wide enough for ice cubes, and the bottle fits a standard cup holder, Borosil says.

Pick #5

Borosil 580 ml Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle

Brand: Borosil
View on Amazon for Borosil 580 ml Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle (opens in a new tab)
  • Keeps hot/coldHot 14 h, cold 18 h
  • Warranty1 year

The Borosil 580 ml Double Wall Stainless Steel Water Bottle is the smallest steel bottle. It uses the Gosport figures, hot for 14 hours and cold for 18 hours. The size comes from the name, since the specs give none, and the maker's page for this bottle is titled 600 ml. Borosil says the sweat-free exterior keeps everything else in a bag dry.

The sipper lid has a loop handle, which Borosil says makes it easy to carry to the gym or the field. The bottle is leak-proof and has the same one year warranty, without spare parts.

Insulation (hot/cold hours)Hot for 14 hours, cold for 18 hours

Pros

  • A loop handle and a dry exterior in the smallest size.

Cons

  • The specs omit capacity, material and BPA status.

Suits: A gym-goer or player who wants a small insulated bottle with a handle.

Falls short: Its hot and cold hours are lower than the Trek line.

The Borosil 1L Colour Copper Bottle holds 1 L. Borosil says it is 100 per cent pure copper with a smart matte finish. The colours are grey, green, brown and black. The lid is a screw-top.

How to choose

Choose the line first. The Trek style gives the highest specific hot time, at 20 hours. The Gosport style is lower at 14 hours. The 1 L claims up to 24 hours, hot or cold, as a ceiling. These are Borosil's claims.

Then pick the size. The names give 580, 700, 850 and 900 ml. Only the 900 ml and the 1 L state capacity in the specs, so match the name to the retailer page.

Look at the lid. The Trek bottles have wide-mouth screw-top lids that Borosil says are easy to drink from and to clean. The Gosport bottles have sipper lids with a carry loop or a loop handle. The 1 L has a thread-type screw lid.

Read the warranty. All five steel bottles have one year, but only the 700 ml, 850 ml, 1 L and 580 ml models are stated to exclude spare parts. Borosil sells spare lids separately.

Check the claims on leaks and BPA. Borosil claims leak-proofing for the 580 ml, 900 ml and 1 L. It makes a BPA and phthalate free claim only for the 900 ml.

Verdict

The 1 L is the best overall on the stated specs: it is the only one with a full litre, a 304 grade steel body, leak-proofing and a copper coated vacuum wall, with up to 24 hours of hot or cold. The Trek 700 ml and 850 ml have the highest separate hot and cold hours in a mid-size bottle. For the fullest specs, the 900 ml Gosport gives the steel grade, leak-proofing and BPA and phthalate status.

The 580 ml suits a small bag with a handle. The copper bottle is for buyers who want copper rather than insulation.
